I'm moving home next week and I'm damn sorry because my newish neighbour is not only an excellent neighbour but she excels in door art which continuously makes my day. Here's the Christmas #FrogFairy.

It was good to run the first of four @srhe.bsky.social #AcWriMo2025 sessions this week with academics appreciating protected time to #write. It's NOT a given in our workloads even though it's expected and part of performance management. Next session is Monday. #HigherEducation # academia

Another fantastic read - #CreationLake by Rachel Kushner with a wonderful cover by @jenniferdionisio.com. I'm mining a rich reading seam these days - a great tonic for stress and fatigue. 😎 Next up #ElizabethTaylor ( not that one!)
